Last days in Manaus

The last days in Manaus i didn't do anything special.
Washing my clothes, relaxing, reading and planning my further trip to Campo Grande to visit the Pantanal.
I met a German and a Brazilian and together we spent a day in Manaus.
Went to a church and inside i could not believe my eyes. A big party was going to get out of control...
Everybody inside was singing and dancing like crazy. It was really funny to watch and not that boring like back home in Europe...
Went to the harbor and checked out the ships to Belem. You can buy a hammock for 20R$ and stay on the ship for five days to get to Belem. Always down the Amazon river...
Must be quite relaxing and a great adventure, because the ships look pretty old! :-)
Also ate some Tacaca. Tastes like soup with shrimps and some leaves from mangroves plants.
But essentially it was pretty disgusting... :-)

I also met 3 guys from Austria (2 girls and 1 boy from Vienna). Together we spent a day on Punta Negra. That's a beach on the shore of Rio Negro. Went swimming in the amber water and had a lot of fun.

Before i left Manaus, i went to the Amazon Opera house. The 20R$ were really worth it to visit. Such an amazing building with a long history.
I was also very lucky, because i could listen to an music-orchestra practicing some classical compositions.
After that, i took the public bus (holy shit, it was crowded and i was the only foreigner) to the airport to get to Campo Grande and the Pantanal.
